- 1/2 cup finely ground almonds (almond flour)

Instructions

- In a separate medium bowl, whisk the sugar, oil, applesauce, plant milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the grated carrots and ground almonds.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle with chopped almonds if using.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra moisture, you can add 1/4 cup of crushed pineapple (drained) along with the carrots.
- This cake is naturally sweet, but you can dust it with powdered sugar after cooling if you prefer more sweetness.
- If you do not have ground almonds, you can pulse whole almonds in a food processor until finely ground.
